Topsham sandbags to be collected

People in Topsham are being asked to keep roads clear of parked vehicles when the City Council collects its sandbags on Friday (7 March). The bags were used in Topsham during the recent bad weather, helping to prevent more than 40 properties from flooding.

The local authority will be sending a lorry around to retrieve the bags from outside individual properties.

Residents can keep the bags if they wish but these will need to be taken inside or stored out of sight, otherwise they will be picked up by the Council.

If anyone wishes to retain their bags but is unable to move them, they or a representative will need to be present on the day to make this known to the collection crew.
